Exclusive Book Reading of The Dormant State at Bakul Library Bhubaneswar

Born and brought up in Odisha, Dibya Satpathy according to his own words was an average student who was far more interested in plays than textbooks. A gradual leaning towards literature was only obvious. A National Defence Academy Graduate, Class of 2002, Dibya’s idea for writing this book was more a way to cope with the isolation of the border postings. Young and restless like his protagonist; Dibya was drawn towards the subject matter on finding the appalling state of affairs in Odisha.
